Why choosing something else was easier, but now I'm choosing the hard pivot, no matter how it looks.

Busted lip, tired eyes, fake smile In September of 2025, I launched my labor of love, my confessional, my secrets, my whole life up until the moment I sent back my final revision...My book, Break at the Bend . In 24 hours I became an Amazon best seller. I knew who bought the book and brought me to that status. I see you. Because you have seen me in all those chapters too. My friends and family, who watched and listened to me talk about this book for years. And then I got my first royalty...

I nourished my book because I believe in my story, but I had to be patient, just like I was with the avocado tree that could.
